En un país con más interacciones digitales que físicas, el proyecto propone eliminar las divisiones sólidas y crear conexiones entre los trabajadores

More physical interactions and less digitals

Orient Hongda is the largest threadsproducerin China. From this, for its new offices and showroom, wedecided to transfer its raw material to theprincipaldesignelementof the space.In a country withmoredigital than physical interactions, the project proposes to eliminate solid divisions and create connectionsbetween workers. Utilizing the threads they produced, to design translucent curtains that allowed blurry viewsbetween spaces in the interior. When necessary,three-layer divisions were designed for the meeting roomsand private spaces, made out fabric then a layer of glass and again fabric, in this way the acoustics, important for these spaces, were resolved without neglecting the concept of translucency.A reflectivemetal sheet was used on the circulation area of theoffices to try and disappear elevator and doors.Thisbuilding being in the industrial zone is China, is what really guided us to implementing this design concept,with the idea to disconnect users from the common experience of being in gray urban area.
